Pan Qing, who was standing in the Golden Palace, felt his headache getting worse. The entire imperial capital seemed calm, but in fact it was in chaos.
Cults and demons hide in the streets and alleys, baring their teeth and claws in the darkness, devouring those who pass by.
Prodigy disciples from five families and seven sects gathered together to wield swords, guide the country, and stir up the wind and clouds.
Now that Emperor Chu's birthday is approaching, the top sects and the saints of the most prosperous sects in all major areas of the demon world, and the ancestors have gathered one after another, making the already peaceful imperial capital even worse.
Now even King Liang, who had been leading troops outside and rarely set foot in the imperial capital, came to the imperial capital in person.
The causes of death of the eldest prince and the second prince, the old cases in Prince Zeng Hong's palace...the complex interweaving of forces, the confluence of warriors of all kinds, made the imperial capital like a mess.
Huh... Pan Qing took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at the figure on the gold dragon chair, with a sad look on his face.
He didn't understand how the figure on the dragon chair could navigate such complicated relationships and still stabilize the foundation of Chu State that would last for thousands of years.
Pan Qing was silent for a while, then slowly gathered his thoughts, "In other words... His Majesty originally wanted to grant marriage to Lin Bai and Miss Shen Xian, but later because Prince Liang suddenly wanted to participate in the hunting, the plan was shelved."
"His Majesty plans to wait until the hunting is over before looking for another opportunity to grant marriage to Lin Bai and Miss Shen Xian?"
"do you mean this?"
Pan Qing concluded. Emperor Chu had no objection and nodded.
After receiving Emperor Chu's firm response, Pan Qing nodded thoughtfully, "Then I understand."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please retire." After Pan Qing received the answer, he resigned and left. Emperor Chu looked at Pan Qing'er and others' backs and was stunned for a moment. He said, "Pan Qing, after my birthday, I will step down as Emperor of Chu."
Bit, when the time comes... we can be like before
Let’s drink and talk!”
Pan Qing, who was turning to leave, heard these words. He stopped, with a smile on his lips, turned around and said to Emperor Chu: "Okay, then I want to drink the best wine in the royal family."
Emperor Chu who was sitting on the dragon throne laughed heartily after hearing this. His smile was full of happiness and sincerity.
At this moment, Emperor Chu seemed to lack the majesty and domineering power of the past, and he seemed to be Pan Qing's old friend.
Pan Qing bowed his hands again and exited the golden palace.
"Haha..." Until the gate of the Golden Palace was closed again, Emperor Chu's smile slowly faded, "The matter of Xian'er is settled like this."
Emperor Chu sat in the beam of divine light and muttered to himself.
In the darkness, a response came. It was a manly voice.
Although he could not be seen, he could hear his voice and tone and knew that this person had been in a high position all year round, and there was an unquestionable domineering tone in the context.
"Lin Bai... not bad..." He just responded with a few words flatly.
Emperor Chu's eyes were gloomy and he took a deep breath, "Everything is going according to our plan."
The man responded: "Plan? Haha, do we have a plan?"
"Perhaps there was once, but now it seems that it is out of your control."
"The choice between His Highness Prince Chen and the Third Prince can only be made by you."
"And now Lin Bai has begun to trace the cause of death of the eldest prince and the second prince. Once he finds out the truth and finds the evidence, it will be a heavy blow to the third prince."
"This is where we get out of control!"
Emperor Chu nodded, "Yes, there are too many variables in this plan."
The man in the darkness had been paying attention to the changes in Emperor Chu's expression. When he heard the cause of death of the eldest prince and the second prince, he clearly saw Emperor Chu closing his eyes, the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitching uncontrollably, and a look of pain on his face.
.
This was an old story, and he didn't want to mention it, but now Lin Bai wanted to bring it up again.
But as the supreme ruler of Chu State and the emperor of the most powerful force in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm, he naturally has his own vision and foresight.
He knew that Lin Bai had no choice but to do this, because only in this way... could he move to the third prince who was at the height of his power.
The man in the darkness said again: "As for King Liang... the arrangements have been almost made. We are just waiting for him to gain momentum."
Emperor Chu whispered: "Prince Liang..., hum, it seems that the old department of Prince Hong's Mansion has also been tracking down Prince Liang?"
The man said: "Yes."
Emperor Chu asked: "Is that what you mean?"
The man was silent for a while and replied: "No."
Emperor Chu said in a low voice: "Although Prince Hong's Palace has been in ruins for many years, in fact it is still as strong as the clouds."
"You'd better find a way to make them quiet, and don't alert them. King Liang acts domineeringly, but he is always cautious in his heart. If you disturb him, we may make all our plans for many years come to an end."
"You should also know very well that it is easy to deal with an unparalleled strong man, but it is extremely difficult to deal with an veteran minister with outstanding achievements."
"If there is a slight mistake, it will make the Chu warriors sleep and eat uneasily, and even affect the fate of the country."
"This is why I strongly advocate that you go see Xian'er. Only the two of you can suppress the anger of the old people in Prince Hong's Mansion!"
After Emperor Chu briefly analyzed it, the man in the darkness fell silent and did not say much more.
"Instead of meeting Xian'er and the old staff of Prince Hong's Mansion, I would rather go meet my future son-in-law... Maybe he is more suitable than Xian'er to handle the affairs of Prince Hong's Mansion."
"After all, the authorities are blind to the beholder. "
said the man in the dark.
Emperor Chu smiled and said: "It's okay, let the people in Prince Hong's Mansion calm down as soon as possible, don't provoke Prince Liang, don't scare the snake."
The man in the darkness said: "In addition...the most powerful forces in the demon world are going to gather in the imperial capital, and the imperial capital will probably be very lively next."
"Although His Royal Highness King Chen has arranged the imperial capital very appropriately, after all, it is easy to hide from open guns and hard to prevent hidden arrows."
"Am I going to give you some help in secret?"
Emperor Chu took a deep breath and did not answer immediately. He thought carefully for a while and responded "yes".
"After all, do you think more highly of His Highness King Chen?" Emperor Chu asked again after responding.
The man in the darkness did not hide his thoughts, "Compared with the Third Prince, His Highness King Chen is more suitable to be the Emperor of Chu."
"The third prince is cunning and unpredictable by nature. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. If he becomes the Emperor of Chu, I predict that he will definitely start a war in the Eastern Region within a hundred years or a thousand years!"
"This is not what I want to see, nor is it what you want to see, nor is it what the ancestors of the royal family want to see."
"On the other hand, His Highness Prince Che Chen is a smooth man, has the world in mind, and is far-sighted. He is very similar to you."
"If His Highness King Chen takes the throne of God, it will at least ensure that the Chu Kingdom will experience ten thousand years of peace again."
"This is what I want to see, what you want to see, and what the ancestors want to see."
"There can be no war in the Eastern Region now, especially... the Immortal War!"
Then, there was no sound for a long time in the huge golden palace. Emperor Chu sat on the dragon chair, picked up the ancient book again, and began to read it carefully. But when he was reading at this moment, he was no longer as calm and calm as before, but his brows were furrowed.
Wrinkled, it seemed that he could not control his fluctuating mind in a short period of time.
